But envy isn\u2019t the reason to make this meal prep. Salmon, sweet potato and green veggies are a super meal. And this meal prep is a fantastic and ultimate lunch. <\/p>\n

Why I Love Roasted Salmon and Veggie Lunch Prep<\/h2>\n

Roasted salmon and veggies is my go-to meal for a number of reasons. Salmon is such a favorite fish and it\u2019s one that a lot of people feel comfortable cooking at home because it\u2019s widely available, relatively inexpensive compared to other fish, and hard to screw up. It\u2019s a more approachable fish. <\/p>\n

(It also tends to be a fish that lots of kids like, believe it or not!)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s great when I am feeling lazy or am really tired.<\/p>\n

You can adapt it and change it as needed with seasonings and other ingredients.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s ideal when I don\u2019t have no idea what to cook<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It has fewer than 10 ingredients. <\/p>\n

When I wanna eat this way, it\u2019s healthy, full of good fats and proteins.<\/p>\n

Most importantly? It\u2019s so easy to prep, cook, and pack up for work.<\/p>\n

Tonight, I made the most basic version possible, because I was just super tired. But this meal is easy to jazz up, too.<\/p>\n

If you think you don\u2019t have time to cook, I dare you to try this simple recipe.<\/p>\n

How to Make Substitutions for this Roasted Salmon and Veggie Prep<\/h2>\n

Ok, so salmon is a mainstay here. But the veggies can be mixed up a bit. <\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have sweet potatoes, consider butternut squash or any other yellow-orange fleshed squash.
Don\u2019t like sweet potatoes? Use Yukon golds instead or even fingerling potatoes.<\/p>\n

As for the zucchini? Feel free to use yellow squash, too. I also like this dish with cauliflower, broccoli, and\/or Brussels sprouts. All of them work great. It\u2019s not so good with tomatoes or any other soft veggie. Carrots and parsnips would also roast just fine, too. <\/p>\n

Want to add some more flavor? Use some seasonings such as chives or parsley at the very end, sprinkling over the dish before refrigerating. <\/p>\n

Cook the zucchini with some minced garlic or a minced shallot. <\/p>\n

How to Season this Roasted Salmon and Veggies Prep <\/h2>\n

Salt and pepper are essential. Feel free to add a dash of cayenne. <\/p>\n

You could also take the salmon in a direction that includes oregano, paprika, or even more citrus (try zesting the lemon). We also like dill and\/ or fennel fronds for garnish. Asian flavors such as sesame, teriyaki, and soy sauce work too. Other possibilities include Dijon mustard combined with honey as a light marinade, or maple syrup and rosemary mixed with a little olive oil. Salmon is more versatile than you might think!<\/p>\n

How to Store and Serve<\/h2>\n

This meal will keep in an airtight meal prep containers<\/a> for 3 to 4 days. Reheat very gently in the microwave or in the oven, tented with foil. This won\u2019t freeze well, but you won\u2019t need to freeze it. It\u2019ll be eaten quickly.<\/p>\n

We also like serving this with cooked grains such as rice, quinoa, farro, or even buckwheat. You\u2019d be surprised how well it goes with those grains. <\/p>\n
